Flatiron Wheel

Description

The Flatiron Spinning Wheel rises from a flat-packed box much like Boulder’s iconic Flatirons tilted up from a once horizontal position. Sit down and feel the majesty of this rock-solid wheel. The elegant design of the formed maple, apple-ply body calls upon the same drama that makes the Flatirons so striking. This unique Saxony style wheel is anything but traditional, much like our Boulder, CO.

Just as the Colorado landmark is recognized all over the world, the Flatiron, with its ingenious, compact packaging can be shipped anywhere with ease! With nearly all the tools necessary for assembly in the box, you can set this wheel up in just a few hours.

The superb Flatiron spinning wheel is customizable; you can build it to your preference, with either the flyer on the left or the right. With self-aligning bearings in the maidens, and a fully adjustable drive wheel, the whole system is sure to spin true. The clever quick release lever makes changing out bobbins trouble free.

The Flatiron can be set up in all three tensioning systems combined with our thoughtfully designed fine threaded tension control. All of our current whorls can be used with the Flatiron, allowing you to spin the yarns of your dreams–from frog’s-hair fine to art yarn.

Free shipping to the contiguous 48 states. Schacht wheels will ship directly from the factory in Boulder, Colorado. Once your order is received, we'll send you a separate email with shipping confirmation and tracking information.

Want to shop in person? The studio has a full range of demo wheels available for a test drive. For in-studio purchases of any wheel, I offer a choice of either a free 1-hour private lesson, or a pound of spinning fiber to get you started. Plus, I'll assemble your new wheel for you, and show you the best way to secure it in your car.
